2013 MERCEDES-BENZ A-CLASS2.0L Petrol

The most recent MOT on 21 October 2025 at 50,004 miles recorded a pass overall, yet it flagged severe front‑tyre cuts and rear‑tyre cracking, meaning the car is presently roadworthy but tyre condition is deteriorating; the pattern of repeated tyre failures over the last two years indicates a worsening trend. Across a thirteen‑year lifespan the vehicle has accumulated only 50,004 miles, roughly 3,800 miles per annum, which is low for a Mercedes‑Benz A‑Class of this age. Mileage increments between tests are modest – for example, the odometer rose from 44,250 miles in November 2023 to 47,295 miles in November 2024, then to 50,004 miles by October 2025 – showing no periods of rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps in the record. The buyer should give particular attention to the tyre set: the 21 October 2025 entry notes cuts deep enough to reach the ply on both front tyres and cracking on the rear tyres, a recurrence of similar findings in November 2024 and earlier. Inspection of the anti‑roll bar linkage dust covers, flagged as missing or ineffective in the 8 November 2024 test, is advisable to ensure they are now sealed. The 21 October 2016 note of a slight oil leak warrants verification that the source has been remedied. While no brake or suspension failures appear in the MOT history, a visual check of brake discs, caliper operation and suspension bushes would confirm that no hidden wear has developed since the last inspection.
